UAnimInstance::MontageSync_StopFollowing

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.22

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_APIBlueprintCallableUFUNCTION

Description

Breaks the sync link established by MontageSync_Follow so that the follower montage resumes independent playback. Call this before stopping either montage to avoid dangling sync state.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Failing to call MontageSync_StopFollowing before the leader montage ends does not crash, but the follower will lose its sync target silently and may exhibit unexpected position jumps on the next update.
• This only removes the follower relationship on this anim instance. If you set OtherAnimInstance to self in MontageSync_Follow, the same instance is affected; otherwise only the follower instance needs to call this.
